Arlucs Symphonique – E=mc² Remix

This is what the life of Albert Einstein, the great physicist and… unexpected music lover, suggests! Behind the famous equation E=mc² lies the figure of Albert Einstein, a brilliant theorist but also a passionate violinist, for whom music was not merely a refuge but a genuine way of understanding the world. In dialogue with violinist Geneviève Laurenceau and physicist and philosopher of science Étienne Klein, this programme weaves a sensitive journey through three centuries of music. From Mozart’s verve to the meditative depth of J. S. Bach, from Beethoven’s lyrical tension to Barber’s modern intensity, each work explores, in its own way, movement, resonance and time. A sensory experience to understand the world differently, at the crossroads of the laws of physics and emotion.
